Meaning & History
Derived from the Greek noun μουσικά (mousika) meaning "music", which is closely related to the Greek noun μουσική (mousike) meaning "any of the Muses' arts" (especially music and lyrical poetry set to music). Both words are ultimately derived from the Greek noun Μοῦσα (Mousa) meaning "Muse" as well as "music, song".In Greek mythology, this is the name of one of the Horae.
